Well, think of it this way. The *real value* of PowerZoom *is*
zoom-clip & image size tracking! I have imagined how cool it
could be to have a moving subject kept "large in the frame"
automaticly on many occassions. But! - *for* these abilities,
first the basic "generic" PowerZoom has to exist. So why not
also make it usable for normal zooming if desired? I agree that it
would seem rather battery draining to get into that habit, though.
